I marveled at how such a monumental realization can unfold in an instant and change every single thing in your life.

“What does it mean that I am in this endless universe, thinking that I’m a man sitting under the stars on the terrace of the earth, but actually empty and awake throughout the emptiness and awakedness of everything? It means that I’m empty and awake, that I know I’m empty and awake, and that there’s no difference between me and anything else.” — Jack Kerouac
